2. Business Marketing Organization market is larger than consumer market (B2B marketing/industrial marketing)
Easy to define need: do not have the “less rational” needs of consumers (fewer customers)
Organizations purchase for:
Resale
Use in business
Or to produce other items
B2B internet marketing is huge (disintermediation)
3. Internet B2B Trends
4. Relationship Marketing Decrease in costs: changes in traditional relationship (long-term interaction, not just 1 transaction)
Cooperation (strategic alliances):
Mutual goals (still difficult; why Japanese experience during troubled times)
Info. Sharing:
Provide data to enhance decisions (web – Dell)
Potential for abuse (GM sends specs to others)
Keiretsu
5. Relationship Commitment Adaptations:
Make changes for one customer (NUMMI; McDonald’s & China potatoes)
May hedge bets with multiple suppliers
Operational linkages (outsourcing: train other jobs; IBM)
Ties with internal processes (place people in plants)
Allows better coordination (Mark @ VSU, windshields, Rubbermaid)

Formalized? But locked in
“Hand shake” allows flexibility (other risks)

Resellers
Governments
Institutions

Users: work with product, often generate specs (line workers)
Influencers: can modify outcome; dev. Specs, evaluate alternatives (engineers)
Buyers: complete transaction, negotiate (purchasing manager)
Deciders: select or approve (upper/middle management; may be same as buyer)
Gatekeepers: control info. Within buying center (secretary)
11. Buying Situations (1) Buying process: 3 types (goes with individual as well)
Straight rebuy
Small, recurring items like office supplies
Little buyer’s time, little info needed
Reminder ads, automate process
Purchasing manager and no one else
12. Buying Situations (2) Modified rebuy (contract with dining hall ends)
Some review
Dissatisfy: look for opportunity
Comparison ads: your product
Your client: protect, attention to changing needs
New task buying (plant overseas)
Unique situation
Lots of information, effort, and time
Develop product and vendor specs
Many influences
